Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance will reach 50 youth not currently in the Young Dance company through the introductory workshops and masterclasses that are part of this project. Student surveys will show that 80% of youth were introduced to a dance form that was new to them. We will track attendance at the workshops and masterclasses. We will distribute surveys to students following each workshop and residency.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Young Dance Company members worked with five different guest artists. two guest artists introduced them to forms that were new movement forms (Krumping and Boxing). Young Dance company members created original choreography, inspired by the theme of Stretching In, the forms to which they were introduced, and their own ideas. They presented eight dances at the virtual performance of Stretching In.
